He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Ver. 29. He maketh the storm a calm] "He," that is, God Almighty, whose the sea is, and he made it, Psalms 95:5; not the Pagans Neptune, or the papagans' St Nicholas.
So that the waves thereof are still] If, therefore, the voluptuous humours in our body (which is but as a cup made of the husk of an acorn in respect to the sea) will not be pacified when the Lord saith unto us, "Be still"; every drop of water in the sea will be a witness of our monstrous rebellion and disobedience.
